How do I submit an article for publication in Sensate?
We have developed a general format for the submission and production of our pieces. The author(s) of a piece gathers and submits their proposal (using the online form), in which they have the opportunity to propose a potential producer with whom to work. Among other tasks, producers aid in the management of media, conceptual navigation of a piece and work more closely with our designers and editors to ensure that the content and the form of a piece come together in a clear and elegant way. A proposed producer can be someone from the Sensate team or someone you have worked with in the past. If you are proposing to work with an outside producer you are responsible for contacting this person prior to submitting to Sensate (also, please include a short bio of the proposed producer’s relevant work).
Once a submitted piece is accepted for publication and a production schedule is mutually established, the producer and author(s) will begin to build the piece. Given the fact that we are an “issueless” journal and operate in an online format, we have the advantage of being quite flexible in our production timelines. It is expected that each piece will go through one internal review (allowing our editors to comment) and then one double-blind peer review once the piece is in a final draft phase.
If you have an idea that you think would benefit from our format, but are not ready to submit a full proposal, please feel free to contact us to discuss the possibilities of publishing your work in our journal. You can also view a sample submission here.
How do I submit a review for publication in Sensate?

Reviews are accepted as full, finished pieces and you must include the relevant media files with your submission. We do not accept reviews based on written abstracts.
